Abstract

Sexual violence against persons with mental disorders (ODGJ) raises serious legal issues related to the fulfillment of victims' rights and access to justice, particularly due to the victims’ limited capacity to provide testimony and defend themselves in criminal proceedings. This study aims to analyze the forms of legal protection and the effectiveness of regulatory implementation in handling ODGJ as victims of sexual violence in Palangka Raya City. This research employs an empirical legal research method through field data collection and analysis of relevant legal frameworks. The findings indicate that although Law No. 12 of 2022 concerning Sexual Violence Crimes and Law No. 17 of 2023 concerning Health provide a normative basis for victim protection, their implementation remains limited in practice. In Palangka Raya, several specific obstacles were identified, including the absence of specialized psychological assessment mechanisms to support victim testimony, limited availability of mental health experts during the investigation process, and the lack of standardized procedures for adapting examination techniques to victims with mental disabilities. In addition, the absence of integrated service facilities and limited training for law enforcement officers regarding disability-sensitive approaches further complicate the handling of such cases. This study emphasizes that legal protection for ODGJ victims of sexual violence requires a more comprehensive approach through capacity building for law enforcement officials, adaptive evidentiary mechanisms, and stronger institutional coordination to ensure the effective fulfillment of victims’ rights.

Abstract

This study examines the reformulation of the criminal offence of refusing to testify under Indonesian criminal law and proposes a rights-based graduated liability model that reserves criminal punishment for deliberate and persistent refusal after procedural safeguards, witness protection, and less restrictive measures have proven ineffective. Employing normative juridical research with statutory and conceptual approaches, the study analyzes the National Criminal Code, criminal procedural law, relevant criminal law doctrines, and the legal framework governing witness rights and obligations through descriptive and prescriptive methods. The findings reveal that the existing regulation risks overcriminalization because it does not sufficiently distinguish between culpable refusal to comply with a lawful obligation, the lawful exercise of the privilege to refuse testimony (hak ingkar) or the privilege against self-incrimination, and excusable non-compliance arising from compelling force, serious threats, or objectively unavoidable circumstances. Although the criminalization of unjustified refusal possesses philosophical, sociological, and juridical legitimacy in protecting the administration of justice, its application must remain subject to the principles of legality, culpability, proportionality, subsidiarity, and human rights protection. As an ius constituendum, this study proposes a graduated regulatory framework consisting of procedural clarification and renewed summons, protection intervention where threats or vulnerability exist, proportionate non-penal compliance measures, and criminal sanctions only as an ultimum remedium. The theoretical novelty of this study lies in reconceptualizing refusal to testify through a rights-based criminalization framework that integrates the witness’s legal obligation to participate in judicial proceedings with the state’s reciprocal obligation to guarantee procedural rights and effective protection. This reformulation provides clearer normative boundaries for distinguishing punishable refusal from legally protected or excusable non-compliance, thereby strengthening legal certainty while preventing the overcriminalization of vulnerable witnesses.

Abstract

This research aims to legally examine the elements of intentionality and negligence in criminal acts as the basis for a person's criminal responsibility. The main problem in this study is how the concepts of intentionality and negligence are understood in criminal law and how they are applied in criminal justice practice. This research uses a normative legal research method with a literature study approach, namely by examining various sources such as laws and regulations, opinions of criminal law experts, and court decisions related to the research topic. The results of the study show that intentionality and negligence have quite fundamental differences in determining the fault of the perpetrators of criminal acts. Intentionality occurs when a person commits an act with the will or awareness that his act may cause consequences that are prohibited by law. Meanwhile, negligence occurs when a person is not careful or ignores the obligation to act carefully so as to cause harm or adverse consequences to others. The difference between the two elements affects the evidentiary process in court, the determination of whether or not the elements of the criminal act are met, and the severity of the criminal sanctions imposed. Therefore, the precise determination of whether an act was committed intentionally or due to negligence is essential to ensure justice, legal certainty, and the application of proportionate punishment in the criminal justice system.

Abstract

Unlawful acts are a fundamental concept in Indonesian civil law as stipulated in Article 1365 of the Civil Code as the basis for liability for losses incurred to other parties. Along with the development of society, the meaning of unlawful acts is not only limited to violations of the law, but also includes violations of subjective rights, legal obligations, moral norms, and the principle of propriety. This study aims to analyze the concept and application of unlawful acts in Indonesian civil law by using normative legal research methods through legislative, conceptual, and case approaches. The results of the study show that unlawful acts play an important role in legal protection, but there are still differences in judges' interpretations of its elements that have the potential to cause legal uncertainty. Therefore, consistency of interpretation and strengthening of jurisprudence is needed to realize justice, legal certainty, and utility.

Abstract

The rapid development of financial technology has contributed to the emergence of various digital investment platforms, some of which are misused to conduct illegal activities such as Ponzi schemes. A Ponzi scheme is a fraudulent investment model that promises unusually high returns within a short period by using funds from new participants to pay earlier investors rather than generating legitimate profits. This study aims to analyze law enforcement against perpetrators of Ponzi schemes, particularly the legal implications for upline actors and the legal protection available for victims. The research employs a normative juridical method using statutory and case study approaches, with legal materials derived from legislation, legal literature, and related references. The findings indicate that Indonesia does not yet have specific regulations governing Ponzi scheme practices. Nevertheless, perpetrators may be prosecuted under Article 378 of the Criminal Code concerning fraud, Article 103 of Law Number 8 of 1995 on Capital Markets, and Article 28 paragraph (1) of Law Number 11 of 2008 on Electronic Information and Transactions as amended by Law Number 19 of 2016. Therefore, stronger and more specific regulations are needed to provide legal certainty and better protection for victims.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the limitations of criminal law in making the identity of a criminal go viral, as well as the synchronization between the Electronic Information and Transactions Law (UU ITE) and the Personal Data Protection Law (UU PDP). The study uses a normative juridical method with a statute approach and a conceptual approach. The research data consists of primary, secondary, and tertiary legal materials collected through library research. Data analysis was conducted using descriptive qualitative methods using deductive legal reasoning to examine the relationship between personal data protection norms and public participation in law enforcement. The results show that the act of making the identity of a criminal go viral can be qualified as doxing if it is done with an intentional element (mens rea) to damage a person's dignity or disseminate personal data without authorization. Legal limitations require society to respect the principle of the presumption of innocence, the protection of permanent digital traces, and digital ethics in the use of social media. The synchronization between the ITE Law and the PDP Law forms a complementary legal framework, where legal certainty is achieved when public participation is channeled through official reporting mechanisms to law enforcement officials. This study's limitation lies in the use of a normative approach that has not examined empirical implementation in the field. Therefore, further research is recommended to use an empirical approach to evaluate the effectiveness of the ITE Law and the PDP Law in addressing doxing practices and digital vigilantism.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the implementation of Law Number 23 of 2004 on the Elimination of Domestic Violence (KDRT) in handling domestic violence cases by law enforcement officers in Palangka Raya and to explore the challenges and obstacles faced by social institutions and law enforcement in protecting victims. This research uses an empirical juridical approach with a descriptive method to illustrate the handling process of domestic violence and evaluate the effectiveness of victim protection. The findings show that although law enforcement has followed the procedures outlined in the Domestic Violence Law, significant challenges remain, such as low case continuation after reporting, social stigma against victims, and limited resources such as safe houses and internal psychologists. Furthermore, coordination between law enforcement and social institutions is not optimal, hindering the effectiveness of victim protection. Therefore, this study recommends enhancing law enforcement training, strengthening social institutions, and expanding public education about the rights of domestic violence victims to improve legal protection and case continuity.
